ADELAIDE has made a whopping six changes ahead of its qualifying final against Brisbane, regaining a host of players after they were rested last week.
Skipper Chelsea Randall, star midfielder Anne Hatchard, defenders Stevie-Lee Thompson, Zoe Prowse and Kiera Mueller all return to the side after a week off, with Najwa Allen immediately recalled after serving her three-week suspension.
Deni Varnhagen, Lisa Whiteley and Brooke Tonon are among those who will make way, while Jess Waterhouse has missed out after being rested last week.
Mikayla Pauga comes in for suspended Lion Dee Heslop.
Gold Coast has made just one change for its elimination final against Sydney, with Jasmyn Smithmaking making way for Elise Barwick after she recovered from a nasty head clash two weeks ago.
Sydney key defender Alice Mitchell has been named after needing scans on her hand with Lisa Steane (knee) also passing her fitness test.
Irish Swan Paris McCarthy is back in the side for Ruby Sargent-Wilson, after the former suffered a minor knee injury.
The W Show: Who can ‘shake up’ finals, retiring great Phillips joins the couch
AFLW Champion Erin Phillips joins Sarah Olle, Sarah Black and Ellie Blackburn on The W Show to discuss her retirement from AFLW, the upcoming finals series and Steve Symonds’ exit from Collingwood
Melbourne's final side will be named on Friday night, but the reigning premier is poised to regain a host of players.
Paxy Paxman (hamstring tightness), Aimee Mackin (ankle) and Maddi Gay (hamstring) look set to return, with Georgia Campbell in the mix to cover for the concussed Rhi Watt.
North Melbourne has already confirmed Ellie Gavalas has been omitted, likely making way for the returning Mia King (late withdrawal due to neck soreness), while Lulu Pullar has recovered from her head knock which required stitches.
Geelong veteran Shelley Scott is the front-runner to replace the suspended Kate Darby, while opponent Essendon is yet to confirm whether it will make any changes for the knock-out final.

OF: 1594 Garner
Final rank 593rd.
Started the season well and struggled after overpaying for players. Prices fluctuate massively in that game and lesson I'll take from this year.
MM: 1409 Marinoff
Final rank 33rd.
Had too many weeks of players in the 20's and 30's to make up any ground. Congrats to Foxy taking out the league GF.
It should get better with young draftees in the new season.

I don't think Morphett is needed at the Bulldogs with Edmonds and Moody there.
